Broken zipper in the rear window

[joaovc]

Hi everybody

I have a Caterham Seven Academy car (sigma engined) with the weather equipment (roof and doors). Yesterday, I was closing the rear 'window' of the car's cover / roof and the zipper of the rear window came undone. I am thinking about replacing it with a sturdier zipper. Any advice on what to get and where to have it done?

Thanks

Stu, he's in Portugal. I'm only guessing but he may need a more local solution

If he's in Portugal why would he care about his roof not working?

Good point! Hey Thinfourth, long time no see!

There was a thread in BlatChat about fixing it yourself using pliers..... Worth a try....

A sailmaker should be able to fit a stronger one.

Thanks everybody. I ended up cutting the 'leather' at the bottom of the zipper and slided the cursor back in and then sew a new stop where the zipper came appart (a couple of inches from the bottom).
